I believe a quick read of the Holy Cross mission statement is appropriate. "A Size for All" means that even though expectations are high, students of various academic, athletic, and social backgrounds are welcome into Holy Cross. They were one of the first Catholic schools in the area to offer diverse scheduling programs customized for students in order to give them the best opportunity to succeed. Holy Cross graduates 100 percent of the senior class with 96 percent attending a four-year college, 2% attending a two-year or vocational school and 2% entering the work force or military. Is the HC the best option - certainly debatable and IMO the answer does not matter because all schools have good and bad points. However, for many parents, they may decide that Holy Cross is a BETTER option for their students over their current situation. Last line of the mission statement is a good summary - "Meeting the needs of all students is our commitment."

This is the one line ALL schools use, we see it on all the ads every school puts out. I wish there was a way to track how many of these students make it to year 2 and beyond, as well as graduate. I'm sure it would be a difficult task to gather such info.

Just very confusing and hard to understand the process, I thought that if you live in Kentucky and you attend a school in Ohio you cannot compete at that school. Doesn't it work the same way in Kentucky?

Very fortunate for this player that he is "ranked" on both sides of the river. That is some nice exposure!

 

From what I have heard if true, Campbell's legal guardian lives in Kentucky so he is legit in being able to attend Holy Cross. It is an interesting story. It is hearsay so I will leave it up to someone in the know to post all the facts in the situation.

Until there is transparency, accountability and responsibility associated with the transfer of athletes, especially in football, public school programs should just decline to schedule private and independent programs.

KY does not have a residency rule.

It isn't strictly a public vs. private school issue. Look at who played for Newport when they won the region a couple years ago.

 

Bottom line for me, as I have stated often in multiple threads is kids should be allowed to go and play at any high school they think is best for them. I just want everyone to abide by the same rules. That means no one pays an athlete's tuition for them to attend a school (and public schools charge tuition for out of district students as well so that isn't a public/private issue). And players should not be allowed to get around the KHSAA transfer rule by going from private to public or vice versa. If a player played varsity sports at one school, per KHSAA rules he/she can't jump to another school without sitting out a year.

The state of Ky. does have a web page that shows this stat. I actually used it when choosing which school my child should go to. The info is sort of interesting since the stats have to track back 4 years to show how many started and how many graduated. It did not show the current rate of ACT scores, in case a school has shown improvement recently. The following web site shows the info that "all schools use" I'll see if I can dig up the other web site that showed college grad rates. http://dataportal.cpe.ky.gov/hsfr/publichighschools.shtm

Information I found is from 2008. Is there an updated website, or is 2008 the most recent?

I heard he just wanted to see what a state champion wieght room smelled like. Just kidding.

This would suprise me if true. He does not go to school at HC. I would imagine an insurance issue if he got hurt in any way.

 

Then he can go into the one at Holmes, same one all sports use, home of a unclassified state champion lol.
